Net gain in migrants Feb. 2017 year 71,300. I’ve personally met scaffolders, painters, Lab Technologists, a Doctor and sat with the Indian hospitality trainees on the train. The locals have either left or are not motivated or trained to do these jobs.

Well guess what, the kiwis have neither given up, but they all left. Why? High student loans, high living costs, shit wages.

Sad commentary on shitty kiwi employers eh rude hund.

Post being prepared as we speak …
I look forward to the picture…now what might it be …..so much to choose from …..
He tried to finish the way he managed his entire time in the seat… by being entertaining and the joker. Problem is it’s just boring now.
And running in the way he has from possible defeat because he doesn’t like to lose… what kind of All Black Captain would do that? No mana there.
